HTC One Max specs tipped to include 5.9-inch screen and 1.7GHz quad-core CPU

The HTC One Max specs sheet has made another premature appearance, with the upcoming, oversized smartphone tipped to play host to a 1.7GHz quad-core processor.

With the HTC One follow-on and Samsung Galaxy Note 3 rival expected to be officially unveiled later this month, newly emerged HTC One Max specs have pointed to the high-end smartphone sporting the same 1.7GHz quad-core CPU as its predecessor, just wrapped up alongside a new 5.9-inch display.

Although the HTC One Max is currently far from official, it has been the subject of numerous leaks in recent weeks and months, with the latest premature specs unveiling offering insight to all of the phone’s claimed internal offerings.

According to the leaked HTC One Max specs which have surfaced courtesy of French site, NoWhereElse, the handset is seemingly set to partner its 1.7GHz quad-core Qualcomm CPU with 2GB of RAM and Google’s Android 4.3 Jelly Bean OS.

What more, bringing a new edge to the phone, the HTC One Max will reportedly become the first handset to run the latest, and much mooted, edition of the company’s popular user interface – HTC Sense 5.5.

Aside from the near 6-inch 1920 x 1080 pixel Full HD LCD display, the HTC One Max specs sheet sticks largely to that of the original One, with Beat Audio further assisting the integrated BoomSound stereo speakers, and the usual array of Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi, NFC and 4G connectivity options making the cut.

With 32GB of internal storage also listed alongside a 3200mAh Lithium-Ion battery, the phone, which will line up at 10.6mm thick and 130g in weight, will also host a 4-Ultrapixel rear-mounted camera.

In a similar vein to the recently released iPhone 5S, the HTC One Max’s party piece has long been tipped to be an integrated fingerprint scanner, with a number of claimed specs and leaked images having all but confirmed that biometric security measure’s inclusion.
